In the demanding environment of oil field operations, managing produced water and treating oily wastewater is a critical challenge. Stable emulsions can significantly hinder separation processes, leading to inefficiencies and potential environmental compliance issues. This case study illustrates how a specific demulsifier, supplied by a leading manufacturer, successfully addressed these challenges in a real-world scenario.

The objective was to improve the efficiency of oil-water separation in wastewater generated from oil extraction activities. The wastewater contained highly stable emulsions, making conventional separation methods less effective. The operational goal was to achieve a significant reduction in residual oil content in the water phase, thereby meeting stricter discharge limits and reducing the overall burden on downstream treatment processes. The client sought a reliable supplier offering a high-performance demulsifier that was both effective and cost-efficient.

Our team, leveraging decades of experience as a chemical auxiliary manufacturer, recommended a specifically formulated demulsifier known for its rapid action and high efficiency. The product is a colorless to brown sticky liquid, characterized by its ability to quickly destabilize water-in-oil emulsions. Laboratory tests were conducted using the client's specific wastewater samples to determine the optimal dosage and confirm its efficacy. The tests indicated that the demulsifier not only broke the emulsion rapidly but also resulted in significantly reduced oil-in-water (OIW) levels compared to the client's previous treatment methods.

Following the successful lab trials, the demulsifier was implemented in the client's wastewater treatment facility. The results were highly positive: the separation speed was notably faster, and the clarity of the treated water improved dramatically. Key performance indicators showed a substantial decrease in residual oil, allowing the client to consistently meet their discharge permit requirements. Furthermore, the product's formulation, which avoids heavy metals, ensured that the treatment process did not introduce secondary environmental pollutants. This aligns with our commitment as a China-based manufacturer to offer environmentally responsible solutions.

Beyond the primary benefit of improved separation, the client also noted secondary advantages. The demulsifier’s formulation helped reduce the adherence of oily substances to processing equipment, leading to less frequent cleaning cycles and improved operational uptime. This enhanced equipment efficiency contributed to a reduction in overall operating costs. The ability to buy this effective solution from a dependable supplier like us provided the client with supply chain security and technical support, ensuring seamless integration into their existing operations.
